Comté Gruyere and Farmhouse Morbier

Description

Comté Gruyere cheese has been produced in France for more than seven-hundred years, and is the most important cheese made under the strict French appellation system. In this episode, host Will Studd traces the link between farmer, cheese-maker, and affineur or ripener before visiting the old fort Saint Antoine where sixty-thousand crusty wheels are matured underground. He then visits a small farm to see how Comté's close cousin, Morbier, acquired its black stripe.
